1913 Massacre (1913年大屠杀) - Jack Elliott[00:00:00]

Take a trip with me[00:00:04]

In nineteen thirteen[00:00:06]

To Calumet Michigan[00:00:09]

In the copper country[00:00:11]

I'll take you to a place[00:00:14]

Called Italian Hall[00:00:16]

And the miners are[00:00:21]

Having their big Christmas ball[00:00:24]

I'll take you in a door[00:00:28]

And up a high stairs[00:00:30]

Singing and dancing[00:00:34]

Is heard everywhere[00:00:35]

I'll let you shake hands[00:00:38]

With the people you see[00:00:40]

And watch the kids dance[00:00:43]

Around the big Christmas tree[00:00:46]

There's talking and laughing[00:00:51]

And songs in the air[00:00:53]

And the spirit of Christmas[00:00:56]

Is there everywhere[00:00:57]

Before you know it[00:00:59]

You're friends with us all[00:01:01]

And you're dancing around[00:01:04]

And around in the hall[00:01:07]

You ask about work[00:01:10]

And you ask about pay[00:01:11]

They'll tell you they make less[00:01:14]

Than a dollar a day[00:01:16]

Working their copper claims[00:01:18]

Risking their lives[00:01:20]

So it's fun to spend Christmas[00:01:23]

With children and wives[00:01:26]

A little girl sits down[00:01:30]

By the Christmas tree lights[00:01:32]

To play the piano[00:01:34]

So you gotta keep quiet[00:01:35]

To hear all this fun[00:01:38]

You would not realize[00:01:39]

That the copper boss[00:01:42]

Thug men are milling outside[00:01:44]

The copper boss thugs[00:01:48]

Stuck their heads in the door[00:01:49]

One of them yelled[00:01:51]

And he screamed[00:01:53]

There's a fire[00:01:53]

A lady she hollered[00:01:56]

There's no such a thing[00:01:57]

Keep on with your party[00:02:00]

There's no such a thing[00:02:03]

A few people rushed[00:02:06]

And there's only a few[00:02:07]

It's just the thugs[00:02:09]

And the scabs foolling you[00:02:11]

A man grabbed his daughter[00:02:13]

And he carried her down[00:02:15]

But the thugs held the door[00:02:18]

And he could not get out[00:02:20]

And then others followed[00:02:23]

About a hundred or more[00:02:24]

But most everybody[00:02:27]

Remained on the floor[00:02:29]

The gun thugs they laughed[00:02:32]

At their murderous joke[00:02:33]

And the children were smothered[00:02:37]

On the stairs by the door[00:02:40]

Such a terrible sight[00:02:44]

I never did see[00:02:45]

We carried our children[00:02:48]

Back up to their tree[00:02:50]

The scabs outside[00:02:53]

Still laughed at their spree[00:02:54]

And the children that died there[00:02:59]

Was seventy-three[00:03:02]

The piano played a slow funeral tune[00:03:10]

And the town was lit up[00:03:14]

By a cold Christmas moon[00:03:15]

The parents they cried[00:03:19]

And the men they moaned[00:03:20]

See what your greed[00:03:25]

For money has done[00:03:28]
